1969 Z28, real or fake tag?

throzoo · Sep 24, 2008

I will be looking at this car next week and would like opinions on the tag and car.
I'll try and link it, not to good on doing this.

Tag looks ok.

The amateur resto and incorrect engine hardly qualifies it as a "premium" Camaro. As such it better be priced well under market.

throzoo · Sep 24, 2008

Thanks. I see alot of things that are incorrect, not crazy about what looks like a rattle can restoration on the underside either.

Wow Dave you are going a ways to see it.....may have been a good idea to have someone local look at it first to make sure the trip is worth it.

throzoo · Sep 25, 2008

I have family down there who aren't to far away from the car. I've been to the dealer before but wasn't sure about this car. I think he's around the 40K area for the car.

i'd make sure it at least has the original trans and rear, the photo of the rear looks like some welding might have been done on the tubes...40g for a body is way to high if the trans and rear are replacements like the engine.

Wow that car is a twin to my X77 that came out of DFW originally (well a twin when mine was all together pre-thievery

). $40k? Give me a couple minutes and I can post my TT, I'll have to go out to my shop and take a pic...... okay here is my tag:

Pretty sure that this is the original tag. I know the owner history on mine back to new. How unique to see a close twin (in original form) of 2 69 Camaros built the same week and from close to the same region of the country.

Obviously mine is the rougher version as of this moment

:

If you could can you post (or PM me) the VIN? I'd like to see how close they were coming down the assembly line.

throzoo · Sep 25, 2008

That is pretty close together. I don't have the vin for the car.

Hmmmmm... the body number is 'NOR314630', on an '04C' build. Isn't that body number way too high for an April build car????

69Z28-RS · Sep 26, 2008

PS. I'm not saying that plate is bad, I have no idea. But the body number is tremendously out of sequence with cars I know.... and I'm just looking for someone who can explain Chevrolet's pattern here...

No.

Kurt S · Sep 26, 2008

No. In 69, the body # is assigned when the order is accepted into the system. It just means the car was built soon after the order was accepted.

throzoo · Sep 27, 2008

Thanks for all the input. I'll be seeing the car at the end of the week.
Just learned of another 69 Z28 not to far from this one.
I'm told it has the original drivetrain in it. I'll grab pics of that one as well.

If you go read the linked ad for his car the DZ comes with. The stroker is currently installed.

Thanks Kurt.... so what kinds of things caused delays in the builds? I have an 09C car with a significantly lower body number.....

The BDY #s were reset in August 69.

Kurt S · Sep 30, 2008

Could be the availability of a certain axle ratio or a rear defroster switch or who knows...

pharri6914 · Sep 30, 2008

My 69 Z has a build date of 5A with a sequence#NOR 310......I thought the numbers were a little high on this one...Pat
